Student Record Holds

San José State University has authority to withhold registration privileges for any
student with an outstanding cashiering debt. If a cashiering hold has been placed
on your records, your registration will not be processed. To resolve the debt, please
call the Bursar’s Office at 408-924-1601.

International Students

If you are studying at SJSU with an F or J student visa, any courses taken through
Open University will not count toward the full time enrollment required for maintaining
your visa status. If you have questions, please visit the Office of International
Programs and Services in Clark Hall Room 543 or call 408-924-5920.

International students who are academically disqualified must see an International
Student Advisor prior to enrollment in Open University.

Use of Social Security Number

Applicants are required to include their correct social security number in designated
places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section
41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue
Code (26 U.S.C. 6109). The University uses the social security number to identify
students and their records including identification for purposes of financial aid
eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable
to the institution.

Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the University to file a 1098-T form for
degree seeking students that include the student’s social security number. This information
is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student
as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes.
